Next up for the Mavs is another home game Saturday in the regional semifinals against Rancho Cucamonga Los Osos, a 25-23, 25-18, 23-25, 25-10 winner over Visalia El Diamante on Tuesday.

The Big Three for top-seeded La Costa Canyon (27-10) came through with 45 of the team’s 51 kills as well as 15 blocks.

Junior Brittany Abercrombie didn’t match her 28-kill outing in Saturday’s San Diego Section finals against Canyon Crest, but the 6-foot-3 opposite had 19 kills and nine blocks to help the team shake off the cobwebs.

“We were a little surprised at first,” Abercrombie said. “We weren’t ready at the start.”
